What would happen if the Infected from 28 Days Later turned into zombies after they died? That's pretty much what this book asks. A fast-moving virus is infecting people across the world and turning them into cannibalistic and homicidal maniacs. What's worse is that if they aren't killed by severe head trauma, they get back up and continue to try to kill uninfected humans.

Although the concept is both original (as far as I know) and frightening, the story itself gets dry at times and leaves m...more

Book one of the Morningstar Strain series. This is a great zombie book. It was a book I had to talk myself in to putting down to get some sleep. I would have read it in one sitting if I had that much free time in one block. I enjoyed all of the different characters; good character building. Shows one character’s situation then switches to another’s, and not only main for characters. I can not wait for book two. Well written with few editorial errors.

Okay, my review might be a smudge bias because I am, above all, a zombie fan. And this book delivers everything you'd want from Zombies! Many of the zombie novels that I have read really lack a military POV. Usually the books start when all government and society have collapsed. Not here! You get to ride out the rise of the undead from start to finish in this series!

I would have given this book 2 stars, but it is about zombies so that automatically raises it up a bit. Cliche characters and a stumbling plot doomed this book from the beginning. Plus, this is the second zombie book that I've read that didn't wrap up loose ends. It is the beginning of a series and now I'll probably have to read those too. Darn it!

This is an extremely exciting, action-filled zombie book! Good character development makes and keeps readers emotionally engaged with the people on the pages. I just pre-ordered book 2 of Morningstar from Permuted Press. Can't wait to read it!

One of the BEST zombie novels I have read! It struck me as a novel version of World War Z. Recht does a great job combining fast and slow zombie types. I cannot wait for more in the Morningstar Saga. A must read for all zombie fans!
